Nuclear talks between Iran and Europe … mutual threats and diplomatic escalation

Iranian official media reported that Foreign Minister Abbas Araqji and his counterparts from France, Britain and Germany agreed on Friday to resume talks next week on nuclear issues and penalties.
The three European powers have threatened to activate a mechanism that allows the re -imposition of United Nations sanctions on Iran if Tehran no longer to negotiations on an agreement to curb its uranium enrichment program. German Foreign Minister Johan Vadevol confirmed next week talks, warning Iran against re -imposing sanctions unless a verified and sustainable agreement to calm concerns about its nuclear ambitions was reached. He again pointed out that the time is very narrow, and that Iran needs to be involved in the talks seriously. Iranian official media reported that Araqji and British foreign ministers, France and Germany agreed during a phone call that deputies of foreign ministers continue to talk on Tuesday. She said that Araqji “stressed during the call the lack of eligibility and morally of these countries to resort to the mechanism (the rapid return of sanctions), and warned of the consequences of such a measure.” The three European powers, along with the United States, say that Iran is taking advantage of the nuclear program perhaps to develop nuclear weapons, which the Islamic Republic denies. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran is far from developing a nuclear bomb. Tolsi Gabbard, Director of US National Intelligence in March, said that intelligence officials did not find evidence that Iran’s move towards possessing a nuclear weapon.

Since then, the IAEA inspectors have not been able to enter Iranian nuclear facilities despite the assertion of the agency’s director, Rafael Grossi, that the inspections are still necessary. The last meeting between Iran and the three European powers in Geneva was on June 20, while the war was still angelic, and there were no significant indicators to make progress. According to the Iranian official media, an Iranian delegation will go to Vienna on Friday to meet officials At the International Atomic Energy Agency, without mentioning more details.
